What a week this one has been! It started off with exchanges on Tuesday. I lead the lesson for Iman, it was on keeping the Sabbath day holy. We helped her make a list of things she could do to make Sunday more special and more focused on God. She's doing so great!
Wednesday was zone conference here in Nancy. It was fun to meet so many more missionaries and hear from President and Sœur Babin. They talked about how important it is for a missionary to be consecrated and really focused on the goal of why we are here. To help others be happy for eternity!
Thursday we went to Paris and did some legality stuff. It was mostly just so fun to see my district from the MTC and hear how they are doing! Had some great time catching up with Sœur Daines, miss her for sure!!
One of the best times of the week was the train ride home. We were in a car with a bunch of high schoolers on a field trip so the teachers asked if we wanted to switch into another car. So we did and we ended up sitting across from the coolest couple in the world!! He was born on France and is an engineer, he helps to design and build bridges all over France. She is from South Africa and has been in France for about 4 years. They met last summer when she was living in a tent on the border of Germany and France and while he was staying for work. I think he has a motor home or something. Well they met but he doesn't speak English and she speaks a little French but he wouldn't let her just stay on the side of the road! So they've been traveling together ever since and are now engaged! They're both around 45 or so. She is Buddhist and was willing to just talk and talk. She has a great perspective on life and on that we all need to help each other. She also believes that anything life gives us will make us stronger. When she found out that we were Mormon she said that she has a cousin in New York who is too and that we have very beautiful beliefs. So basically when she gets the chance she's going to accept the gospel. She's so close to being prepared!
On Saturday we were also asked to help out with a primary activity for mothers day so we took a picture with some cute girls in the ward!
Also the past few days have been SO warm!!
This week I loved a line in 1 Corinthians 14:26 "Let all things be done unto edifying". A good reminder that what we do matters! Go help someone out today!
